Architecture – Master of Arts (M.A.)

Über diesen Studiengang

The Master's degree program in Architecture expands the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor's degree. It enables students to focus on individual areas of interest. Building on the basic knowledge acquired in all relevant topics on the Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, the Master’s degree program is geared towards students’ increased concentration on individual areas of interest, which are dealt with in depth in lectures, through their own project work and accompanying self-study. The aim of the overall program of specialist areas and the mentoring program, therefore, is based on the interests and competencies of the students on the one hand and the individual focus of the chairs for teaching and research on the other. This allows the students a specialization in work-related problems, which are incorporated in the subject areas covered by the four focus areas of the Faculty of Architecture. The fundamental objective is, by means of a comprehensive university education, to enable students to assume responsibility with regard to society and the built environment. Graduates will be ready to take up senior management positions in the planning process and to operate successfully and entrepreneurially. The consecutive Master’s program in architecture will be offered either as a program that is freely defined together with a mentor or as a program with four defined areas of concentration, each of four semesters. In all fields of specialization, design-oriented project work is the central focus. The Master's Degree in Architecture (Master of Arts) at the TU München qualifies students both in the general and the specific competencies of the study areas, and in methodological skills as well as social and interpersonal skills. The graduates of all four study areas will be equally able to visualize and present their created work. They are specifically able to use a wide variety of digital and analogue visualization methods, including modeling techniques acquired within the project work. They will have achieved conviction and confidence in the elucidation and justification of their own design work. They will also have a thoroughgoing knowledge of construction and architectural history and theory of architecture, which for the graduates of the Master’s programs provide the guiding principles for design work. Additionally, students will have at their disposal the social and interpersonal skills that are indispensable in the working environment of the architectural profession. Following their studies, they will be able to collaborate on complex projects cooperatively and productively as a team and they will have been trained to hold their own in conflicts between stakeholders. Through methodological and professional specialization on the Master’s program, together with the project work specifically designed to this end, they will also be capable of handling complex design and construction projects independently and without guidance and to take responsibility whether within a team or working alone. They will be able to work on projects in a sustained and proactive way, and to be aware of their own strengths and weaknesses in order to achieve set targets in an optimal manner. Through its interdisciplinary and practical, but also research-oriented approach, it will be possible for graduates not only to adhere to a prescribed workflow, but also to develop new solutions and methods and thus excel as pioneers of the architectural methodologies of the future. The changing social conditions are placing new demands on the architectural profession throughout the world. Graduates of the study programs at the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University of Munich have the necessary skills to assume a leading role in the planning processes of future global markets. The national and international fields of activity lie in regionally active architectural offices as well as in architecture firms operating globally, in product and materials development
